With the arrival of the Lunar New Year, we can see signs of celebration everywhere on the streets of Hong Kong. We can see the sounds of New Year songs playing in the supermarkets, the festival slogans and holiday goods found everywhere, and even the crowds lining up at the banks to receive new banknotes.

But why? Why are the crowds lining up at the banks regarding the Chinese New Year? This brings us to the custom of giving "lai see." Lai see, also known as "red envelopes," is one of the most anticipated activities for children during the New Year.
